The Giant Japanese Wisteria in Mikawashima Town will be in bloom around late April

The giant Japanese wisteria standing by a building at Mikawashima Town in Arakawa-ku Ward, Tokyo, begins to bloom in late April, lasting for 1 or 2 weeks. This tree was only 60cm tall when it first bloomed, but now it has grown to 12m high.  This 1973-born wisteria is called Fuji-no Otaki 藤の大滝, which means the wisteria blooming like a large waterfall, and has been designated as a preserved tree by Arakawa municipal government.
